This page of the
Process Settings Wizard is used to specify the following for a
Co-injection Molding or
Thermoplastics Bi-injection Molding process analysis:
- Process settings specific to the first injection unit, which controls Material A, and
- Certain process settings shared by the first and second injection units.
To access this dialog, ensure that you have selected either the Co-injection Molding or Thermoplastics Bi-injection Molding process and an analysis sequence that includes Fill or Fill+Pack, then click
().
Note: Some of the items listed below may not be available on the current dialog. This is dependent on the mesh type, molding process and analysis sequence selected.
General settings
- Mold surface temperature
- The temperature of the mold at the plastic-metal interface, where the plastic touches the mold.
In cases where this is an input box, enter the required mold temperature.
Note:
- The temperature of the mold affects the cooling rate of the plastic.
- The mold temperature cannot be higher than the ejection temperature.
- Fiber Solver Parameters
- When the Fiber orientation analysis is enabled, click this button to display the Fiber Solver Parameters dialog.
